Had to look it up as I could not believe what I had seen. I had a good idea because it was a giveaway. Turned out I was right and I had deffy seen a whitethroat. over the lanes.

Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....
I have had a nice pair of Greenfinch turning up recently to enjoy SF hearts. Today the cock bird arrived looking very lethargic. Another victim of tricho I'm afraid

A standard one Jacksparrow. I did look up both and read the notes. The lesser don't seem to be down this part of the world.
Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....
I'm delighted to say that I've seen a house sparrow fledgeling today
, such a beautiful little thing flattering its wings asking parent to feed it
. Only one though, with one parent, who I've been seeing alone on the feeder for a while. Is that normal?

Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....
I noticed it is the cock bird feeding junior which may mean the Mum is elsewhere. Perhaps only the one has fledged thus far.
Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....
More about what I saw yesterday evening around 8:30pm. A sparrowhawk zipped through the carpark here where I live. Heading towards the woods. First one in quite a while.
